The village developed around the monastery of St. Walterich, which was founded in the 9<sup>th</sup> century. In 1328 it was granted city rights by the counts of Löwenstein-Wolfsölden, who ruled the area.

The wolves are probably taken as a canting symbol for the Wolfsölden family. After the secularisation early in the 19<sup>th</sup> century, the crosier was replaced by a tree, which should represent the large forests in the area. | |||
